Chaos and Control

In nature's ebb and tide
One thing for certain resides
Chaos at the foundation and flow
A continuous creation abides

Numerical desire lies
Where expression is clipped
A dark grid imposed
Protecting the future from doubt

Seen from a mountain eye
Cities divvied up 
Millions of rectangles 
and squares
Positive linear lust

Managed with might
Policed with rage
This IBM machine a blight

Chaos is the fountain
Chaos is the truth
Freedom will always break loose
